Thinking Green this Recycle Week

Recycling has been big news this
year – from the Blue Planet effect to the latte levy, people across the UK have
been thinking more and more about how to be greener. There has been great
progress - we recycle twice as much as we did 15 years ago – but there are
still ways to improve our efforts!

With the BBC documentary Drowning
in Plastic set to air next week, the conversation is still alive and well, and
here at Creamline, we’re always looking for ways to help people reduce their
plastic consumption. Read on to find out more about Recycle Week, and what
we’re planning at Creamline…

Recycle Week

Recycle
Week is a celebration of recycling, being held all this week, with a
whole host of businesses and charities helping to promote it. From Coca-Cola
and Marmite to the National Theatre and the Manchester Food and Drink Festival,
plenty of people are getting involved.

79%
of all the plastic waste ever produced is still in the environment, which is
why 2018’s Recycle Week is the biggest yet. More and more of us are recycling,
but there are still ways to make a difference and keep recycling at the top of
the agenda.

Creamline’s Plastic Free Aisle

As well as recycling, many of us
are now looking for ways to reduce our plastic usage, as a way to start living
greener. With the launch of our new website, we’re helping to make this even
easier for our customers.

We’re launching our Plastic
Free aisle – wherever you spot the green dolphin icon, you can rest
assured that the product you’re buying is completely free of plastic packaging.
These items are available across both our Daily Essentials and Best of Local
ranges, and we’re always looking for ways to introduce more
environmentally-friendly produce.
